About the Event
Why are some civic associations better than others at getting--and keeping--people involved in activism? In this book talk, Hahrie Han will describe how she used in-person observations, surveys, and field experiments to compare organizations with strong records of engaging people in health and environmental politics to those with weaker records. To build power, she finds, civic associations need quality and quantity (or depth and breadth) of activism. They need lots of people to take action and also a cadre of leaders to develop and execute that activity. Yet, models for how to develop activists and leaders are not necessarily transparent. How can civic associations build the power they want and support a healthy democracy? How do the most active associations blend mobilizing and organizing to transform their members' motivations and capacities for involvement?
